    Thanks, still going strong. There's at least 3 or 4 king cakes a week at work. Omg.

    This is what happens if you park in firefighter parking.

    You're right. Going on 26 years, it's still as exciting and rewarding as when I started. I said to my wife after training this week, that I'm still loving it, and you can't get these highs (and lows, but that's the balance) from being in the Lion's Club. I'll continue as long as I can contribute.

    Come on now... Bingo Night at the Lion's Club is just as good a rope rescue... well, as long as the bar doesn't run out of your favourite beer.

    Today is hubby's birthday. I'm going to try to stay under my calorie goal, and won't have the time to fit in exercise to up the calorie total. Even if I do go over, it will be the first time in a long time.

    I went to my first "Float Spa" encounter today. I loved it. :)
    First time I've felt totally unplugged since I can remember.

    Is that the sensory deprivation salt bath type? It looks interesting.

    Yes, it is also called a Sensory-Deprivation Tank. You float in an enclosed tank of warm saltwater (800 lbs of epsom salt) with the option of total darkness and no sound, soft light and music, or a combination thereof. I went the total darkness, no sound route. You acquire a sense of weightlessness. It's the first time I felt unplugged in quite some time. The hour was up before I knew it and I came out totally relaxed. I recommended it to my sister who has chronic arthritis as it supposedly helps joint and nerve pain as well.

    There's a spa in my area that has them. I haven't tried yet but definitely curious.

    @HappyTrails7 - That sounds like a great way to unwind, going to add that to my list. Thanks!

    I have committed to taking one lunch class a week at the gym. I bought a red lock to keep in my gym bag.

    Going to dust off the SMART poster and remind myself I can do this. I was never good with setting goals.

    The dietitian was after me to start taking a lunch to work instead of going to restaurants. It's easier to portion control and you know what's in the food if you're making it at home... For a while, I had an arrangement with a coworker where we lunch-pooled... On Mondays, Megan made lunch for me. One Wednesday, I made lunch for Megan. It worked well until she took a gap year to travel.

    So for March, I'm going to start back to bringing lunch to work regularly... at least twice per week. So far this week, I brought lunch on Monday and today. I had it ready on Tuesday but forgot it at home. D-oh!! I'm set for tomorrow.
